A Tract on Monetary Reform.

A spectacular copy in collector's condition of the first of Keynes's major contributions to economic theory. A significant text in which, for instance, he dismisses the gold standard out of hand as, 'a barbarous relic'. The theorising here would lead directly to the wider exposition of the General Theory and may be seen as its prolegomenon. It is also the source of his notorious statement, 'In the long run we are all dead'. Copies in cloth are not uncommon but examples such as in this in jacket and in collector's condition are genuinely rare.
